This makes Donald Trump the oldest currently living ex-president by about 3 weeks and likely only for the next 3 weeks.

My favourite president. Loved how he built Homes for Humanity even at an old age. He wanted to live long enough to vote for Kamala

"Damn these creaky walls! Who built these? Its like the were assembled by an arthritic Octogenarian!!"

It is admirable, of course. Carter was one of the last of the good ones. Ugh...like I said, I really had thought he'd already passed...I kind of hoped he had...I think seeing Trump in office, which obviously he already has once, would make him sick.

Seeing the state of his country.

Its like modern Presidents have a competition to try and leave the Country as bad as possible for incoming Presidents. That would just kill Carter.

Just look at how much war, debt and strife that Obama inherited and Biden inherited...

Anyways, not the point. Carter was one of the last of the Good Ones. A generation of Politicians that actually cared about their people and their Country.

100? Good for him. Hopefully they were 100 good ones.

Signed a law that allow beer to be made at home, paving the way for the craft beer industry which has changed the landscape for beer lovers in North America.

And then after his Presidency continued to work on what he believed in, to help those less privileged.

Outside of Biden, the incoming president is older than all living past presidents.

He will be happy to have hung on to the point in time where flags will still be at half staff on upcoming inauguration day, which is fitting.

Yeah, I thought about that but then when Trump is the incoming president Biden is the outgoing so I included him.

It'd be an interesting bet on who survives the longest between Trump, Bush, Biden and Clinton. Three are almost exactly the same age, Biden is 3 years older but in good physical shape. Clinton has had heart issues. Bush had a heart issue a while back. Trump seems like he's slipping big time, and obviously he's not fit.
